Dallas Cops Hunt for Gunman Targeting Asian Businesses

A series of recent shootings at Asian-owned businesses in Texas has sparked a police manhunt for a gunman who authorities believe is intent on carrying out anti-Asian violence. Dallas Police Chief Eddie Garcia announced the alarming news at a Friday press conference, where he revealed that investigators now believe three recent shootings are connected—and motivated by bigotry.

“On Wednesday, I had given you an update on this case, and at that time in the investigation, we did not have any indication that this crime was hate-motivated,” Garcia said. “As of this afternoon, that has changed due to the continued investigation.”

In Dallas, an unidentified man dressed in black walked into the Hair World Salon in the city’s Koreatown neighborhood on Wednesday afternoon and shot two employees and a customer. A witness told police the suspect ran from the salon to a “red, older-style minivan and sped away westbound,” Garcia said. He was seen on surveillance video carrying what appeared to be a high-powered rifle.
